{{Inc| Madia (Modi, the Chilean name of the common species). Compositae. Yellow-flowered herbs confined to the western part of the American continent, sometimes grown in the flower-garden. The nearest genus of garden value is Layia, from which Madia is distinguished by the following characters: involucre deeply sulcate, bracts strongly infolding and thus inclosing the achenes of the rays which are laterally compressed: achenes of the disk fertile or sterile. Their fls. are remarkable for closing in the sunshine, and opening in the morning or evening. Species about a dozen. They are all called tarweeds from their glandular, viscid, heavily-scented foliage, the common tarweed of California being var. congesta of M. sativa, which is a useful annual plant for sheep pastures in dry, warm soil. M. elegans is an interesting ornamental annual. It has a graceful open habit (see Fig. 2294) and distinct flowers (Fig. 2295), which become more numerous as the summer advances. }} ==Cultivation== <!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Propagation=== <!--- Type propagation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Pests and diseases=== <!--- Type pest/disease info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ==Species== <!-- This section should be renamed Cultivars if it appears on a page for a species (rather than genus), or perhaps Varieties if there is a mix of cultivars, species, hybrids, etc --> ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}}<!-- remove this line if there are already 3 or more photos in the gallery --> <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
